Ok it was almost 20 years ago when I beat Tetris on the Original Gameboy.

It was definatly mode B that I beat as I stated. Maybe it wasn't 99 levels but it damn sure felt like it. At the end of mode B blocks are moving so fast you have to have twitch reflexes to make em fall right. After I beat it I saw a Huge rocket that took up almost the entire screen fly up with mario head sticking out of the window. And then it said congratulations.

Anybody out there ever play mode B before?? if so tell me how you did.

Ok when I said level I was referring to Lines cleared. Level is the speed at which your blocks fall. Lines cleared is how many lines of blocks you clear. lev 20 is the fastest your blocks can fall on GB tetris. Your wiki ariticle about tetris must only apply to the NES version. Cuz at lev 20 (which is the max speed) you can certainly keep the game going. Here is a link to a dude who made max possible score in game mode A.

if that ending with the little dancing dudes and rocket flying up is the same ending I saw 20 years ago then my memory has officially gone to crap. Dont look as impressive today and where is mario???

The link in the above 4:01pm post shows the end sequence when you beat B-type.

That link didn't work for me. So I went to youtube and found it myself. It wasn't nearly as cool as I remember it from 20 years ago.

I think you're possibly mixing it up with another ending. Did you play a lot of Qix? Because Mario is in all the Qix endings, and if you got the rocket in Tetris, and a Mario in Qix, your mind might be combining them now.

I didn't need Wikipedia to tell me that level 99 in GB Tetris never happened because I've been playing it since it was released. Lo these many years later, I still play it several times per week. In an earlier thread, I named it as the greatest game ever because of how much I like it. HOWEVER, as this is a forum where nothing more than two screen names are playing he-said / she-said, I found it useful to refer to an outside source.

I would advise you not to believe everything you see on YouTube, because much of it--like this video to which you've linked--is faked. Watch the score as it jumps. This video is bogus.
